Aspire Athletics Carbon Fiber 16mm Pickleball Paddle White | Long Paddle for Power, Spin, & Control | Ergonomic Comfort Grip | Elongated Handle Design | PP Honeycomb Core

So far, this paddle compares with my others, but is lighter and still strong for use. Seems to be easier for improving my soft game and control.

I would definitely call myself a low-end intermediate pickle ball player... but I have lofty aspirations for the sport over the next few years so when I landed on this "ASPIRE" paddle... it almost felt like destiny.I had been playing with some low end cheaper paddles and the first thing I noticed when I opened the package was the difference in craftsmanship. This Aspire paddle just LOOKED professional - and then to pick it up and feel the lightweight of it coupled with the clear commitment to excellence in production - i couldn't have been happier and I hadn't even swung it yet.The grip is exactly how I would want it to be - light in the hand but feeling solid and in control. Absolute paddle awareness no matter what swing or approach to the ball I was making. Spin, control and placement of the ball felt natural and honestly - i felt like my swing speed increased with this paddle.I'll be sticking with this paddle over the next few months and really expect my game to show some improvement with this change. Price felt right too... for a game Ia m growing to LOVE - this was an easy investment to see almost immediate improvement.

Very fast shipping, got it in one day. Paddle feels great in your hand with a great grip. As someone who has recently started playing I noticed a big difference in this paddle versus two others I’ve played with. Very good paddle for spin and control

The quality of this paddle is very pleasing. I was particularly impressed with the cushion on the handle. The paddle surface has a texture I would say is similar to fine sandpaper, which should enhance its control of the ball. The paddle is much thicker than anticipated even though I knew I was buying a thick paddle. I am still relatively new to the sport, but I believe this paddle really is more forgiving and helps mitigate poor hits. It provides plenty of power to hit the ball out of bounds, but I can see where someone who values return speed more than control would prefer a different paddle. 10/10 would recommend!

I was really happy with how fast this paddle arrived – it came on the same day I ordered it, which was impressive! Used it the very next morning.There were a million paddles to choose from on Amazon, and it’s always difficult to assess quality before holding one in your hand. This one comes as advertised, is sturdy, & is clearly a top-notch paddle.Very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend this paddle to others. It's a great buy!

Perfect product for my new pickleball obsession! Amazing quality, quick shipping, comfy handle. Highly recommend!

Not very useful or not much as to how it was advertised

I am an intermediate player (3 years) and I was very surprised at how I liked the feel of this paddle compare to the Engage paddle I have been using.....I liked the spin and control as well as the pace of the ball when I drive it. Recommend for beginner to intermediate players.
